I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free)

Well I wish, I knew how It would feel to be free
Just to break all of the chains, that kinda keep binding me
And I wish that I could say, all that I’m longing to say
Say it loud, say it clear for the whole wide world to hear
And I wish that I could share all the love I got in my heart
Lord how sweet it would be If we never never had to part
And I wish that you could know what it’s really like to be me
Then you would see and agree every man ought a be free
And I wish that I could sing like a bird up in the sky
Lord how sweet it would be child if I found that I could fly
I would soar up to the sky and I’d look down, look down at the sea,
and then I would sing, 'cause I know what it’s really like to be free
I wish, I knew how It would feel to be free
Just to break up all the chains, that just keep on binding me
And I wish that you could know, what it’s like to be me
I know you would see how, and then agree
Each and every man ought a be free
Freedom, Freedom, Each and every man wants freedom
Free at last, free at last good god mighty I’m free at last
I wish you could know, I wish you could see
I wish you could know what it’s like to be free
